W11x chassis cars / Re: Door panel removal questions

Lee is correct. Those two trim pieces simply slide to cover the screws that hold #20. Given how everything else is fastened to the panels, I always found this a below par method. It is the same on my '60 Ponton coupe.

Try sliding the two #21 away from the middle of #20. That should reveal two small screws holding #20 in place. Remove the two screws to remove #20.

For an emergency fix; do you have a couple of strips of metal similar to dinner knife blades?  You could fashion wider lips under opposite sides of the frame without raising the height more than a fraction.  Or return to the store with a measuring tape.

It’s no emergency and it’s held OK at the moment, but I haven’t driven it yet! I suspect I will do something similar to what you suggest perhaps with pieces of plastic adhered to the inside of the original frame to better surround and straddle the battery.

W11x chassis cars / Door panel removal questions

« Last post by thomasw on Today at 07:21:34 »

Hi all!
I have to remove the door panel on my w111 coupe from 1961. I have figured out the most but i don't know what the best way to remove the door lock chrome parts.
It has a little chrome part sitting on the round part, #21 on the parts pictures catalog. Anyone know how to remove that?

Possibly the slip joint universal assembly in the swing axle failed. Sometimes the bolt securing it comes loose or the splined nose just snaps off!
